"Exhilarating, exhilarating, exhilarating!!!"
Nameless appeared before Golden Doghead with a grin. Before Golden Doghead could react, Nameless slammed a fist into his nose. A dense flurry of punches followed, making his whole body shudder.
"Awooo!"
Golden Doghead howled in agony. His body gradually swelled, and his head began changing from a dog's into a wolf's.
He forced his way through Nameless's attacks and drove a fist into his chest. Nameless struck back at once, punching him in the jaw. Both retreated, putting hundreds of meters between them in the blink of an eye.
"The warm-up is over."
Golden Doghead rubbed his jaw as he spoke.
The fur on his back bristled like a hedgehog's quills, gradually growing hard as iron. At the same time, golden battle aura poured from his body and covered him like flames.
To Nameless, Golden Doghead now looked like Super Saiyan 3 from Seven Dragon Balls—if Super Saiyan 3 had a wolf's head.
"Come on!"
Black seawater surged into Nameless's hand and formed a dagger in an instant. He gripped it and smiled at Golden Doghead.
The next moment, they collided. Golden Doghead condensed his battle aura into a greatsword, which met Nameless's dagger head-on.
They broke apart as soon as their weapons touched. Golden Doghead drew back, then swung his golden greatsword at Nameless's waist. Instead of retreating, Nameless advanced, his body angled upward as he closed in.
In space, nothing obstructed movement forward, backward, up, down, left, or right. Fighting there was nothing like fighting on the ground.
Nameless landed with one foot on Golden Doghead's greatsword and thrust his dagger at his throat. Golden Doghead's eyes narrowed, and he let out a roar.
Golden ripples exploded from his mouth. Nameless took the full force of them and was sent flying.
So much stronger!
